Arp 146 (known as PGC 509 and PGC 510) are a pair of interacting galaxies located 1.05 billion light-years away from Earth in the Cetus constellation.[1][2][3] According to a study, one galaxy appears to have passed through another, leaving behind a ring formed from the bridge material and remnants of the nucleus.[4] Under the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies created by Halton Arp, they are categorized under galaxies that have associated rings.[5]
